Our Mission

The mission of the Philadelphia Community Bail Fund is to end cash bail in our city. Until that day, we post bail for our neighbors who cannot afford to pay.

Our Impact so Far

From May 2017 to July 2019, we've bailed out 165 people held in Philadelphia jails simply because they could not afford to buy back their freedom. We've posted bail as low as $50 and as high as $50,000. Roughly 50% of those who we've bailed out are women and over 90% are Black and Brown people.​Your donations make this possible!
